The Amal anodised slides are considerably more expensive than the alternative premium price not premium quality ? compare the two and enlighten me
apart from the actual cost £36.00 vs £20.00 i can see no difference coating thickness and miniscule size variations are present on both types

CNC brass chrome slides are easily available and often forgot the extra weight helps them to snap shut on split cable set ups

I'm refurbishing a pair of 32 mm Amals that have about 4000 miles on them. Bought stay-up floats and anodized slides. The slides won't go into the carb bores. One measures .0025 more than the old slides, the other measures .0030 bigger. The smaller one I can jamb down but it binds, the other just won't go in. Old slides go down under their own weight as they should. Bores are NOT warped. If these new slides are only for Premier's then Amal should say so. They were not cheap but I won't hold the vendor responsible. He's just selling what he bought. Beware folks.

I had new Premiers with such a small tolerance of anodised slides that one it stuck after 500 km! No over tightening was the case. So the carb has been honed/reamed? a little.
But having new replacement throttle valves, anodised and chromed from different suppliers I tried them and they are too small for the Premiers! So a real headache. No wonder have they stopped producing and will hopefully do a new and better version.
